=Exercise 131--Except, Without, Unless=
_Except_ and _without_ are prepositions, and are used, therefore, to introduce phrases; _unless_ is a conjunction, and is used to introduce a clause.
In the following sentences insert the correct form, giving a reason for your choice:
1. ---- you leave at once, you will miss your train.
2. I cannot learn to swim, ---- some one teaches me.

=Exercise 132--Like, as=
_Like_ is followed by a noun or p.r.o.noun in the objective case. _As_ is a conjunction and introduces a clause, and is therefore followed by a verb. _Like_ is not a conjunction and therefore may not be subst.i.tuted for _as_ or _as if_.
_Wrong_: I wish I could play _like_ you can.
_Right_: I wish I could play _as_ you can.
